Model 10-6
Okay, to everyone who knows the answer, this may be a stupid question. However, to me, who doesn't have the answer....... I just picked up a pristine Model 10-6, forty years old and with gorgeous original blue finish. What does the -6 represent? Apologies if it's a really stupid question- thanks...

The dash number denotes what manufacturing revision the gun's model is. Some people have the info on what each revision number means, I don't.

I thought it was the introduction of the Heavy Barrel and became the M13 and there were some 10-6's made in .357.

The model 10-6 runs from 1962 thru 1977. I think the 10-6 HB (heavy barrel) was the platform for the model 13 prototype. I bought my 10-6 almost twenty years ago. Pre-internet, I had to ask around to find out what the -6 ment myself. BTW, the 10-6's are a fine example of the breed. Mine is an ex-LEO. Very well worn, but shoots like a champ.

I saw a for sale ad for a 10-6 that stated .38 special +P. Will they hold up well using +P ammo?

IMHO that 10-6 will stand up to all the .38+P your shooting hand can. I have a 10-6 in .357, and when I bought it, I liked it so well, I decided to put it away and bought a new Model 13. Had another .38 M10HB (don't recall the dash no.) for awhile and it digested any and every .38 ctg. I fed it, from wadcutters to Long Colt to +P+ and never flinched. It just shot'em all and did it well.

I'm not an expert but I suspect that if you manage to wear one out, you've got something to brag about. You did a lot of shooting.

You can shoot all the +p you want in and it won't hurt the revolver.
